RE: SM EvoCoat???
Sorry for the delay in response, I've not been into the forum for a while and was expecting to be contacted directly.
The EvoCoat is the next generation of gun / controller interface.
The EvoCoat -LF is a new liquid fuel controller which is used in conjunction with EvoLink intelligent gun technology built into the thermal spray gun. This is a measurement electronics and data storage system. This would be used in conjunction with the Twin-140-H volumetric powder feeder or the 5MPE-HP fluidic powder feeder.
The guns offered at this stage with the EvoLink are the proven WokaJet 440 and WokaStar 640.
The primary benefits are that the data aquisition is performed at the gun rather than at the controller, and that the historical data stays on the gun (type, serial numbers, hardware version information, production information, operating hourse, ignitions counter, callibration data etc).
This allows unparalleled accuracy and repeatability with the critical gun parameters being measured at the gun and the process gases controlled using mass flowmeters. With available trending and reporting tools you can keep your process on track and in control.
The controller has an intuitive touch screen interface with storage for up to 100 recipes and a sophisticated mult-level alarm system with build in diagnostics.
This system is offered in a matrix from a value package to allow keen pricing into the market through to a performance package with additional options.
Another highly significant advantage for this system is that it allows a 12 second start up cycle to full stabilisation - this is 70% faster than other systems on the market. Based on fifty start cycles a day and 250 operating days a year this will save 100 production hours, ~2,500,000 litres of Oxygen and 264 gallons of Kerosene a year. (specific calculations based on a standard set of parameters).
There we go, was that sufficiently informative without being a full-on sales pitch? If anybody would like further information please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll either respond to you directly or via your local Sulzer Metco representative - and it will be a quick response I promise!
